CrowdStrike Announces General Availability of Falcon XDR, Extending Industry-Leading Threat Detection, Investigation, Response, and Hunting Capabilities Across the Security Stack
CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) has launched the Falcon XDR module, enhancing its endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities. This new service improves threat visibility and simplifies security operations, aiming to accelerate response time to complex cyberattacks. By unifying detection data from various sources, Falcon XDR empowers security teams to operate more efficiently. The module offers features like centralized alert prioritization and real-time automation through Falcon Fusion. Analysts believe this positions CrowdStrike for significant growth as the demand for XDR solutions increases in the cybersecurity market.
- Launch of Falcon XDR enhances EDR capabilities.
- Improves threat visibility and simplifies security operations.
- Centralizes detection data from third-party sources for better decision-making.
- Speeds up response time to sophisticated attacks.
- Free access to Falcon Fusion for existing CrowdStrike customers.
- None.
Falcon XDR brings together world-class threat hunting, machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and indicators of attack (IOAs) with third-party data sources to correlate events and deliver real-time detections
“One of the ways to address the cybersecurity skills gap is to empower security teams to work more effectively," said
Falcon XDR enables security teams to:
-
Unify detection and response security data. Falcon XDR takes third-party data (including network security, email security, web security, cloud security and cloud access security broker [CASB]) from third-party vendors, including
CrowdXDR Alliance partners, and correlates it with data from the CrowdStrike Security Cloud to optimize real-time threat detection, investigation, response and hunting. - Get the right answers – fast. Falcon XDR speeds up triage and investigation for security operations center (SOC) analysts and threat hunters by delivering one central console for accurate alert prioritization, flexible search scheduling and detection customization, full attack context and interactive graph visualization.
-
Turn XDR insight into action. To orchestrate and automate response across security workflows, Falcon Fusion, a security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) framework, is built natively into the Falcon platform. Security teams can improve SOC and IT efficiencies by building real-time notification and response capabilities, along with customizable triggers based on detection and incident categorizations. Falcon Fusion is free for
CrowdStrike customers. - Increase efficiency of SOC operations. Falcon XDR automatically correlates and provides high-quality detection data across the security stack. It dramatically speeds investigation and hunting by providing a common search interface directly from the CrowdStrike Security Cloud.
- Improve return on investment (ROI) of existing security investments. Falcon XDR uncovers actionable insights from previously siloed data in disparate, disconnected security products from across the IT stack.
“CrowdStrike have spent years building and refining their detection and response automation capabilities,” said
